The videos of recent packrafting adventures in the wintry hills and woods of the Belgian Ardennes are ready. I must say: quite a bit of work to sift through all the footage, keep the best parts, throw away unsteady sequences, etc. Especially the Houille videos were a challenge in this respect, given that the descent was often a true obstacle run, and shooting decent footage was hence not always my primary concern…
Ourthe Orientale
Descent of the eastern Ourthe from Houffalize to the Nisramont lake (~14 km).
Lac de Nisramont
Paddling (and swimming!) the partly ice-covered Nisramont lake to the main dam (~4 km).
Ourthe Occidentale
Descent of the western Ourthe from Berguèmes to the Nisramont lake (~20 km).
